James Cameron's collaboration with Cirque du Soleil promises a storyline, dancing on ribbons and a Mick Hucknall lookalike<p><a href="http://youtu.be/fgiLU9lNnU8">Reading this on a mobile?

Cirque du Soleil Worlds Away is the Titanic director's latest 3D fling. But do we really want to see – through 3D glasses – blokes in leotards twirling around on bits of ribbon?<p>It's probably fair to say that the 3D revolution hasn't panned out exactly as James Cameron envisioned. <a href="http://www.theguardian.com/film/movie/131170/avatar" title="">Avatar</a> was released over two years ago, so by now you would have thought that cinema would be awash with similarly high-reaching 3D epics. But no. Instead we've got a tidal wave of ropey conversion jobs, an increasingly suspicious public and the very real threat that 3D will have caved in on itself by the time Avatar 2 gets released.</p><p>This could be the reason for James Cameron's recent decision to dementedly prop up all of 3D by himself. Last year he executive produced <a href="http://www.theguardian.com/film/movie/140287/sanctum" title="">Sanctum</a>, a kind of 3D subaquatic spelunking drama that was notable only for Cameron's involvement – something the movie's posters picked up on by ensuring that his name was more prominent than everything other than the film's title. Later this year he'll re-release <a href="http://www.theguardian.com/film/filmblog/2011/dec/21/titanic-3d-trailer-james-cameron" title="">Titanic in 3D</a>, partly because it'll be the centenary of the disaster and partly because it might be cool to watch a load of people drown in 3D.</p> <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/film/filmblog/2012/jan/12/james-cameron-3d-cirque-du-soleil">Continue reading...</a>James CameronFilmCirque du SoleilStageCircus3DCultureThu, 12 Jan 2012 12:30:09 GMThttp://www.theguardian.com/film/filmblog/2012/jan/12/james-cameron-3d-cirque-du-soleilPhotograph: Tristram Kenton3D circus ...
